A few days ago, I was in the car with this little stinker. With a lot on my mind, a quiet car is often my processing place....going through my schedule in my mind, checking off my to do list, thinking about upcoming responsibilities etc. Did I mention it needs to be quiet? Well, not that day. Josie had a lot on her mind and she couldn't get it out fast enough.....
Mom, how many days til Christmas?
Mom, how does Santa come in our fireplace, there is glass?
Did you know I just love Ruby?
We went on the Polar Express today, it wasn't real, just pretend, but we got real tickets, and they punched them, the ladies behind the desk did it.
Can I play when we get home, I never get to play.
I'm so thirsty.
What am I going to get Chloe for Christmas?
Who is giving me presents for Christmas?
Can I call Sophie to play?
I never get to play with friends.
Mom, I'm tired.
I just love Ruby, she is so cute.
--Keep in mind, this all happens from my house to, um, maybe Maceys (5 min) To say the least, I had a lot on my mind and I wasn't feeling very patient or nice. So I started blocking her out. Then she said this...
Mom, I'm so glad I'm a little kid.....(why - inserted by me like a robot)
BECAUSE YOU'RE MY MOM AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
And it was said in full caps. Little tender mercies, a daughter that brought me back to what is important.
I LOVE YOU TOO JOSIE GIRL!

She is such a darling! I love it when they say cute stuff like this... xxx PS can you remind me of your address as I've got to send you something before we swan off to Australia next week
Aren't the angelic reminders our little ones give us to 'slow down and cherish time' amaze? She sounds precious and darling.
ahhhh...so sweet. Much nicer than my Brighton when when she was ignored, "MOM! DO YOU NEED HEARING AIDS OR WHAT!!?"
